Joe Joyce was defeated by unanimous decisions for HRGOVIC, Philip, who returned from Manchester to Manchester on Saturday.
The 39-year-old Brit, who fought for the first time since the defeat of Derek Chisora in July 2024, scored 97-93, 96-95, and 98-92 in favor of the judges after the 10th round in a tight fight that HRGOVIC maintained dominance.
Joyce was originally intended to fight Dillian Whyte in all British events, but the latter’s finger injuries took HRGOIC’s steps later.
The 32 -year -old Croatian fought with the first expert loss of his career after 18 bouts after the defeat of Daniel Dubois in June. His record now reads 18-1 after the defeat of Joyce.
The UK’s Joyce tried to regain his career after three defeats in July with three defeats in the last four years.
Joyce asked if he was considering retirement after four defeats in the last five fights. “Are you not happy? It was a good fight and it was hard.
“He is a great fighter, and he’s doing it for a long time. We can do it again.”
Meanwhile, HRGOVIC said that it turned around with Dubois.
“This person wants to re -confront Daniel Dubois because he beat Dubois and I won him,” he said.
“I was really bad in the last fight, but I congratulated him and he did a great job in the last fight. Of course, I want to confront him someday.
“” “Thank you to Joe for this opportunity. I received a short notice, I was not ready. I’m really happy to come back. We look forward to a big fight in the future.
“This person is like steel. I couldn’t believe he took all the shots. He’s tough, beast, very strong.”
The fight began in an explosive way, with HRGOVIC acquiring several large guns on the top, but due to the conflict of the head, the Croatians left the cut on the left eye.
The blood sees HRGOVIC’s face, and Joyce expanded in the fourth round, but Joyce gave confidence in the transaction.
Slugfest continued continued with the eighth success. But Joyce was hurt with a large left hook at the end of the round, and he never recovered with another attack that bent Britain’s knees.
